In the latest installment of Joaquin Phoenix’s career annihilation, the former actor, now rapper, appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” to promote his final film (for now), “Two Lovers.”

What follows is one of the most uncomfortable, awkward and fascinating because of how uninteresting it is interviews I have ever seen. Major points to David for giving a mostly mute Joaquin quite a hard time. My favorite moment comes when the host asks the aggressively bearded star, “What can you tell us about your days with the Unibomber?”

Perhaps I’m the only one here, but since Joaquin has said that traditional acting became boring — that he stopped learning — maybe we should assume this “new persona” is just him taking acting to the next level. I am getting major Andy Kaufman vibes here. Anyone else?
